Part of the scrollbar cannot be clicked or dragged

yurkam

When trying to drag the scroll bar with the mouse, I can only do so if I click-hold on the left half of the scroll bar. The right half doesn't "see" my click-drag.

I'm on Linux Mint 20 and I'm assuming the issue stems from the fact that when the option "Use Native Window" is not selected, then the mouse pointer changes to "resize" within the border of the window, so it eats into half of the scroll bar, forcing you to pay extra attention when selecting it. However, even when you turn this option off and now the pointer only changes to "resize" outside of the window border, despite the pointer remaining in selection mode over the whole of the scroll bar, it still only allows you to select the left half of the scroll bar. Just a bit of a nuisance when trying to drag the scroll bar.

hi,
When I try to use the scrollbar, it doesn't work when i am too close to the edge.
I must be slightly away from the edge.
I works when i reduce the window and i enlarge it.
here a video :

What can i do ?
Thanks for advance

@fafar That is a known bug, the Vivaldi window has a 1px area which does not react to scrolling.

fafar

So, i must wait for a fix. Thanks for this quick answer.

DoctorG

@fafar Scroll by mouse wheel works for you?

fafar

yes, it works with the mouse.

fafar

@doctorg I'm not sure it's the same problem because the area which does not recat to scrolling is bigger than 1px. There are several px not reacting.

fafar

And, when I move the window and then I click to enlarge it, all is right.

Hi.
Long-standing buggie is that only the left half of a vertical scrollbar is active. This means that grabbing the bar is only possible if I hit the left half or slightly left of the whole scrollbar. Even the highlight changes when I cross the vertical imaginary half-line of the bar and Vivaldi thinks I left the scrollbar entirely. But I didn't.
Is this a known bug or am I the first to report this one?
See a small video (h265) of the phenomenon here.

In most of the ubuntu software vertical scroll bar is accessible by just moving the cursor to the most rigth part of the screen. It was also in Vivaldi and I never had this kind of issues with it. But last couple of days it get hovered when I move cursor by 10-15 px left from the right side of the screen. Very uncomfortable. How can I fix it?

5.2.2623.41 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)
Ubuntu 20.04

@Lisio Oh, yes!
Very bad scrolling on Linux Debian 11 KDE and Ubuntu 22 LTS with Vivaldi 5.2 & 5.3.

Perhaps at my side a GPU driver and hardware acceleration issue? I could not investigate.

As Linux is not my primary OS (only for testing) i can live with slaggy scrolling, ok, sometimes it bites my nerves when i am impatient.

@DoctorG My issue is with the fact that scrollbar can't be hovered by just moving mouse to the right side of the screen. So I have to do it almost pixel perfect to point on the bar.

Hi, some Linux user report Vivaldi does not open full screen sometimes, even you set it to full screen after restart Vivaldi it is not.
I don´t have this issue on my Opensuse with KDE.

Cheers, mib

Lisio

@mib2berlin Hmm, maybe you're very close to it. I've just pressed F11 to check, nothing changed on the screen, but scroll started to work correctly. Very strange behavior. It's like window was not maximized but extended to the edges of the screen, but I'm 100% sure it was maximized and even checked it by pressing Super+Down and then Super+Up.

mib2berlin

@Lisio
Yes, it looks fully open but it is not.
No idea if it was ever reported as a bug.

Cheers, mib

@Lisio In Fullscreen (F11) there is a 1 px border which does not receive mouse events, a known issue.

Lisio

@DoctorG But in fullscreen mode all you see on the screen is only browser, without system tray and so on. In my case it was a regular gnome interface with maximized browser window.
